Teacher Professional Development

The following workshops offered by the Living Planet Aquarium education staff is part of the Teacher Resource Program (TRP). We are currently in the fifth year of this program. Funding for TRP was provided by the Utah State Legislature and the Utah State Office of Education's ISEE (Informal Science Education Enhancement) program.

PROJECT WET

Project Wet is a FREE internationally recognized program that enhances participants’ learning about water! Activities in the Project Wet Curriculum and Activity Guide are correlated with state and national formal education standards. Using interactive, hands-on, cross-curricular, and often inquiry-based methods of learning, participants increase their understanding about water in Utah. Additionally, the workshop is a great way for formal educators, informal educators, and community members to connect with each other while learning about water in a fun and engaging atmosphere. While purchasing the Project Wet Curriculum and Activity Guide ($25.00) is not required for workshop participation, it may be purchased at the workshop (cash or check made out to the Utah Society for Environmental Education).
